    Abstract
    In a stochastic-flow network, a (d, T, b, P1, P2)-MP is a system state vector for which d units of flow can be transmitted through two separate minimal paths (SMPs) P1 and P2 simultaneously from a source node to a sink node satisfying time and budget limitations T and b, respectively. Problem of determining all the (d, T, b, P1, P2)-MPs, termed as the (d, T, b, P1, P2)-MP problem, has been attractive in reliability theory. Here, some new results are established for the problem. Using these results, a new algorithm is developed to find all the (d, T, b, P1, P2)-MPs, and its correctness is established. The algorithm is compared with a recently proposed one to show the practical efficiency of... 

    A price-based optimal routing algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks

    , Article 7th International Conference on Wireless Communications, Networking and Mobile Computing, WiCOM 2011, 23 September 2011 through 25 September 2011 ; September , 2011 , Page(s): 1 - 6 ; ISSN : 2161-9646 ; 9781424462520 (ISBN) Emamjomeh, M ; Arisian, B ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Routing methods and algorithms in "Wireless Sensor Networks" attract researchers' attention a lot recently. In order to find the optimal path in WSNs depending on their type and application, various algorithms are proposed. In this paper, an optimal path finding algorithm based on "Game Theory" is discussed and improved. This algorithm finds a path witch is optimizing network lifetime, load distribution, and path reliability simultaneously  

    A Game Theory approach for optimal routing: In Wireless Sensor Networks

    , Article 2010 6th International Conference on Wireless Communications, Networking and Mobile Computing, WiCOM 2010, 23 September 2010 through 25 September 2010 ; September , 2010 ; 9781424437092 (ISBN) Arisian, B ; Eshghi, K ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper, a "Game Theory" approach for finding an optimal path in a "Wireless Sensor Network" is discussed. WSN is one of the most interesting research fields in the communication networks, and is the center of attention in recent years. In our model, a pricing and payment technique is presented to obtain an optimal path in a WSN by considering reliability, energy and traffic load. The proposed algorithm is able to find a path which improves network lifetime, load distribution and path reliability  

    Fault tree analysis for reliability evaluation of an advanced complex manufacturing system

    , Article Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Systems ; Volume 17, Issue 1 , March , 2018 , Pages 107-118 ; 02196867 (ISSN) Fazlollahtabar, H ; Akhavan Niaki, S. T ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper, minimal paths and cuts technique is developed to handle fault tree analysis (FTA) on the critical components of industrial robots. This analysis is integrated with the reliability block diagram (RBD) approach in order to investigate the robot system reliability. The model is implemented in a complex advanced manufacturing system having autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) as material handling devices. FTA grants cause and effects and hierarchical properties to the model. On the other hand, RBD simplifies the complex system of the AGVs for reliability evaluation. The results show that due to the filtering of the paths in a manufacturing system for AGVs, the reliability is highly...
